Default Something is definitly wrong

I don't think some of you understand my problem. I've owned aprox 30 cars in my life and I've never had one that was so difficult to put gas in. I'm talking about having to hold (can't set on auto or pump cuts off) the gas pump lever at it's very slowest flow rate and even then it cuts off and I have to pull the lever again to the smallest possible flow rate again- this happens maybe 10 times during filling it up. Then when it gets close to full (which I can't tell when that is since the pump nozzel cuts off 10 times or more) it will start spuing gas, maybe a quart until it stops. An entire fill-up takes
maybe 10 minutes of my nursing the pump nozzle to fill this car up and I've filled it at several different gas stations.

Now I love this car, they thought of everything and there is no way that it should be this difficult and so much of a chore to fill up. I called my dealer, they know of no such problem. I guess I'll have to have one of their mechanics take a ride with me to the gas station and let him fill it up. I think it is a ventilation problem.
